Tag You're It....

I love these Tiny Tags.

Is it the kraft paper, or the images, or the cuteness of the bundles? 

I'm not sure...I just like the look.  

Tags are two layers, folded at the top, each have a twine tie - (5 cm x 2.5 cm), pack of 5.

Larger Tags.

These would be perfect for a simple white or black tote bag with a hessian or dark brown bow.

(5 cm x 10 cm)

Brown paper packages tied with string.....

Certainly, one of  my favourite things.

Seed Packet - in Kraft...

 I found this great Washi Tape in a cute shop in Newtown, Sydney.  

Hounds-tooth pattern, as you can see the colour of the pegs show through

so they look quite different.

 Tags to slip inside the Seed Packet Envelopes below.

Seed Packet Sets ready to use for any gift.

Individual Seed Packets and Tags.

Story Book Pages - Re purposed

Letter and Note Card Envelopes made from story book pages.

Story books, especially old ones, are made with such lovely paper.  

The images are perfect to add just that little extra to any note.

Chilly Weather Card Making...

What a great idea, same card recipe, different colour way and sentiment.  

Another quick idea, stamp your own design on c/stock.

Cute little booties for cute little beauties.   

Of course the booties are made using  the Christmas Stocking Punch.
Too Easy!

Just Because....they looked so cute.

My tip is to go to Pinterest.com and check out paper crafting or Stampin Up card ideas.  

Something is bound to catch your eye, add your take/twist and make it your way.  

Just a Note.....

Well the weather has turned, as they say, and Sydney has moved quite firmly into winter.  Not sure where autumn went, but the mild days and chilly nights are gone, gone, gone.

So I'm in the craft room having fun.  

I don't 'do' cards but thought I'd have a try at a few designs I've seen on Pinterest, with slight variations, the Louisa touch...hmm....

Happy Monsters
Each card has a matching gift tag - all in the one bag.

I do like the Duplo block version, all with a matching tag.

Making these cards was fun...but each block has 4 to 8 circles (from the Itty Bitty punch set) and one dimensional per dot.  That's a lot of dimensional.    BUT effective.

I do like this stamp set - Cheerful Critters
Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral, love these colours together.

What happy chappies....
Of course there are tags to match.

Totally not Stampin' Up papers, but I think it works.
The paper eyes were so fiddly, so I moved onto plastic googly ones.

And...a matching tag   : )

Peek-a-Boo...Happy Easter

Long twist containers filled with M & M's
